Salas improves her Solheim Cup chances

BEDMINSTER, N.J. – Lizette Salas made a strong move to make the U.S. Solheim Cup team with her tie for 15th Sunday at the U.S. Women’s Open.

Salas climbed six spots in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings to No. 44. That moved her to No. 2 on the U.S. Solheim Cup world rankings list. If the American team were determined today, Salas would be on it.

The top two Americans in the world rankings who are not already qualified on points at the conclusion of the Ricoh Women’s British Open (Aug. 3-6) will make the American team.
